TJ Finley found what's "right" for him at Texas State

TJ Finley heard every recruiting pitch about his talent and skillset as a quarterback, first as a highly rated three-star recruit deep in SEC Country and then after transferring from his hometown LSU to Auburn. So Texas State head coach GJ Kinne and offensive coordinator Mack Leftwich didn't base their recruitment strategy on that. But first they just had to get him in the building for a visit.

He announced his intention to transfer from Auburn on May 2. Texas State needed to add another body to the quarterback room following spring camp. So Kinne thought, 'Why not?' He asked around and got the 6-foot-6 quarterback's contact information and took a swing while on a date night in New Braunfels.
